Hi,

I'm sorry to pop in so late - I'm actually at a breastfeeding conference at the moment so am having touble getting to my computer. But, I think it is really important that you see a Lactation Consultant and get this situation assessed and make a plan of action for yourself and your little one-it's too compex to *solve* on a web forum.. You are doing a fabulous job, but it sounds like you are doing it tough! It's no way to start out being a mum. You deserve good support. I will ask around today at the conference and try to find who I can refer you to in NZ and try to get back to you ASAP. In the meantime, maye you could ring the NZ Lactation consultants association or google them. I would suggest that when you have a plan for breastfeeding, many of the other *pieces of the puzzle* will fall into place
Regards
Barb
